Oakland, California, USA --
Blair Parkin, who has achieved renown for more than 30 years of innovative work
as a technologist in many sectors, has joined integrated technology consulting
firm TEECOM as principal, based in Brighton, UK. Blair will lead TEECOM’s
technology services for the EMEA region, continuing the firm’s highly active
and expanding business in Munich, Berlin, Dublin, Amsterdam, and London.
Joining TEECOM, which has
its headquarters in Oakland, California, USA, gives Blair and his team direct
access to the emerging technologies of Silicon Valley as well as a deep bench
of technology talent able to support the design, documentation, and project
management of innovative projects worldwide. Blair brings with him a depth of
experience creating transformative projects working closely with the owner and
the architect to create differentiated work spaces, research facilities and
public venues and spaces that provide a unique relationship between user,
experience, and technology.
Blair anticipates that
TEECOM’s research group, as well as the firm’s specialist technical departments
covering telecom, security, audiovisual, acoustics, network, wireless, VoIP,
and virtual reality, will support opportunities for multiple transformative
applications, including CAVE environments and converged media studios.
“That’s one of the many reasons I’m excited to be a part of
TEECOM,” Blair says. “We can sit at the table and bring seamless coordination to
the client, which means we can streamline and speed the process whether you’re
designing a new office, attraction, planetarium. The most innovative,
ground-breaking concepts can be turned into reality from within a single team.”
Blair first collaborated
with TEECOM on the multi-award-winning California Academy of Sciences in San
Francisco, California, USA, which is the largest all-digital dome in the world
and set a new standard for sustainable architecture as the first museum to
achieve "Double Platinum" LEED rating. His diverse project and client
history also includes Bloomberg, The British Museum, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and
Procter & Gamble.
